Ist es möglich, neue Kleine Rassen in das Spiel zu importieren, 30 sind mir nicht genug. Ich hätte gern mehr!
Wenn es möglich ist:Wie kann ich das machen oder existiert schon eine Anleitung dafür die ein Neuling auch versteht, HEX editieren kann ich leider nichtjavascript:emoticon('')

You really should read all of the posts before asking this cause some people may be reposting the same stuff and it just wastes time, but i recently did the same thing so i can't judge. I believe that it isn't possible because in the mods minor races are only ever replaced but no new ones are added so i would assume bosed on that logic that for the moment it can't be done.

However it may be worth asking some of the more experienced members to be certain.

Yeah this has been asked over the course of the last 2 years about 100 times, thats 99 useless topics for the same answer, which is No. Not yet.

feel free to add more races to the race.rst but they won't work correctly in game. i.e. mo diplomacy etc.

to add more races you will need :-
1. to learn hexadecimal editing
2. own a hexadecimal editor
3. have a working knowledge of how races are handle in trek.exe
4. have a working knowledge of how race.rst is set up.

good look.

sorry for the short step by step guide but even the great and worshipful codemasters haven't cracked the minor races -- I have personally tried 3 times to acheive extra minor races in the game and failed.

As i said some people have reported extending the race.rst and having extra races in game but my understanding was that they had not been able to interact properly with the extra minors -- no diplomacy, probably no intel either.

Personnaly,

I' m happy at how things are...of course I'll welcome all breakthroughs the modder will make...there's plenty of new ships, plenty of races and we can even go higher than tech 10 now....which is what I was dreaming of for years and thank god...someone was able to crack it.

Have they cracked changing the races? I remember a similar hardcoded issue with monsters that can be side-stepped by changing the monsters.
